  12      med           shrimp -- peeled & deveined
     1/4  cup           extra-virgin olive oil
   1      tsp           kosher salt
   2      tbsp          chopped cilantro
     1/2  tsp           pure chile powder -- * see
note
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced

When peeling and deveining shrimp, leave tail on.

Place shrimp in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine
oil, salt, cilantro, chile powder and garlic. Mix
well. Pour over shrimp and cover. Let sit for 1/2 hour
refrigerated.

Preheat George Foreman Grill. When hot, spray with
cooking spray. Place shrimp on grill. Cover. Cook for
2 minutes. Open cover and check to make sure all the
shrimp are pink throughout. If not, remove ones that
are and cover and let the others cook until cooked
through, this should take another 30 seconds or so.

To serve: Place rice or side dish on plate in a
circle. Top with shrimp. Sprinkle chopped cilantro
around the outside of the plate.

Make sure to serve immediately, while they are hot.

Serving Ideas : corn on the cob, roasted vegetables

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* When I say pure chile powder I mean a single chile,
dried & ground, such as ancho, guajillo, chipotle,
habanero, whichever is to your liking. I do not mean
chili powder from the supermarket. Either buy dried
whole chiles and grind them yourself or buy them
ground into powders already. Some supermarkets sell
them like that. You can also buy them online -
Penzey's and Penderly's sells them like that.

This recipe is low carb, without any grain, pasta or
potato side dishes. The shrimp alone. For low carb
eaters, serve without corn on the cob, use a different
vegetable that isn't as starchy, such as zucchini or
cauliflower or broccoli.
